Planting & Care

Start Cubanelle pepper seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at 75-85°F (24-29°C) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for the garden after danger of frost has passed.

Set plants in full sun and well-drained soil, spacing them 18-24 inches apart. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and are firm, either green or fully ripe red.
